AG Bonta today marked the end of the first year of President Trump’s term and one year of holding his Administration accountable for sweeping violations of the law and the U.S. Constitution. Since January 20, 2025, AG Bonta has filed 54 lawsuits against the Trump Administration — with resounding success. He has secured 12 final rulings, 35 preliminary injunctions and other emergency relief, and increasingly, appellate orders affirming these rulings. The Trump Administration has also conceded in part or entirely in six cases: backing down rather than continuing to defend its illegal actions in court. When the Trump Administration breaks the law, California stands ready to take it to court, whether it be for protecting public safety, standing up for healthcare access, supporting California’s economy, defending our environmental protections, or fighting for public benefits upon which California families rely. 

“One year ago today, President Trump was sworn in for a second time, and every day since then, he has sought to enact a sweeping, and often illegal, effort to remake America. Our work to stop the Trump Administration’s unlawful actions touches every part of Californians’ lives: helping to make sure they can continue putting food on the table, access a quality education, cast their vote, live safely in their communities, and so much more. This is not about political differences. This is about a wholesale attack on California’s people, our values, and our progress. We’ve filed 54 lawsuits in just one year — an astonishing number that reflects the pace and recklessness with which this President has violated the law. Looking ahead, we’re not backing down. As Attorney General, my job is to uphold the law and stand up for all Californians. I will continue to do so.” – AG Bonta
